Welcome to the water filter lady’s blog! Meet Laura…

I have been in the water filter business for 12 years. My goal is to help educate you.

We can eliminate unnecessary waste going into our landfills and oceans, cut back on the energy it takes to produce and transport the bottles, reduce our exposure to harmful chemicals like BPA, and stop supporting an industry moving to turn water from a common resource into an expensive commodity.
